Bubble in one tire
So Detroit potholes are insane this year, and finally one got the best of me and my c300.

Driver side tire now has a bubble formed on the side wall, so I need to replace it.

Am I ok to just replace the one tire? Taking it one step further, can I replace it with a non run flat tire?

thanks guys!

What's the wear like on the other side? If you're running RF on both sides, I'd replace them both with NRF.

Runflat on one side and non-runflat on the other = not a good idea. Depending on how worn the tires are you may have replace 2 or 4 (is it 4matic?). Get thee to the local tire shop.

The car only has 25k miles on it, so the other tires still have life in them. And it is a 4matic.

A minimum of 2 tires but I would suspect the tire shop will recommend 4.
